Third instalment in the Stargazer series of unearthed classics from Italy´s 80s "Afro Funky" scene. Neatly packaged on two loud-pressed vinyl 12"s, this compilation includes a raft of in-demand and hard-to-find cuts which found cult status in legendary clubs such as Cosmic and Typhoon. The first 12" boasts Brian Bennett´s seminal oft-sampled space funk odyssey "Solstice", synth-crazy future disco from Methusalem, cerebral electro jazz-funk from Weather Report, plus big Baldelli play "West Coast Drive", an Arpadys-produced slo-mo disco-funk holy grail, finally closing with a very useful DJ-friendly extended edit of Manfred Mann´s Earth Band´s heavy pounding tribal LP cut "Somewhere In Africa". Disc 2 keeps up the pressure with the savage heavy drum funk of Dogs Of War´s classic "Future Jungle" and John Ozila´s searing disco anthem "Funky Boogie". Flip over for the highly sought-after proto-electro funk workout "Was Dog a Doughnut", an ahead of its time B-Boy anthem from the unlikely source of Cat Stevens, followed by "All You Want Is More" - a captivating tabla-driven chugger from world-pop icon and ex-Grange Hill star Sheila Chandra, and finally Rosebud´s incredible disco version of Pink Floyd´s "Money". Great package of essential Afro Funky classics!
